Will Golden Son (by Pierce Brown) live up to its predecessor, our favorite book of 2015? Robert and Bryan may be a little SPLIT on that...
In the Training Institute, Darrow vanquished his opponents using his street-smart tactics and by being the compassionate leader that no Gold would even dream of becoming ... but now, as the Golden Son, he is in the Academy, and this is no student battleground. It’s training for war.
With the balance of power delicately held, and backstabbing among the ruling classes a daily occurrence, Darrow must also walk a thin line: between building his growing band of supporters; playing the Gold politics (of which he has zero experience), and never for one moment, giving away the fact that he is not – and has never been – a Gold.
For underneath all the genetic surgery and bio-implants, unbeknownst to almost all, Darrow is the Gold’s most despised creature ... a Red.
A Red hell-bent on vengeance.

Episode 59 - Golden Son by Pierce Brown

Let's light a fire under Bryan and Robert's behinds as they talk about the sequel to Steelheart! Check out their thoughts on Brandon Sanderson's superhero sequel: Firefight.
David Charleston returns in Firefight, this time as the point man in Prof’s top Reckoner team, along with a new mission: to stop Regalia recruiting more high epics and taking over the world ... at the expense of every human being.
Although David has already avenged his father's death and dispatched Steelheart, it's left him with a dilemma. Is his job with the Reckoners over, or has it only just begun?
But it seems he won't have to make that decision, as Prof has made it for him. Join the clan and head to Babylon Restored with the team to take down the high epic, Regalia, or clear out and don't bother the Reckoners again.
David, of course, is not a quitter.

Episode 58 - Firefight by Brandon Sanderson

Where did she go? Bryan and Robert have the answer with their review of Gayle Forman's sequel Where She Went.
Bryan’s quick summary:
Mia Hall only woke from a coma because Adam Wilde – her fast-becoming-rock-star-boyfriend – told her he’d do anything as long as she “stayed.”
So Mia did what Adam asked, and used one of his offered options: Leave him. And go to Juillard. And break his heart.
Following on from three years after If I Stay ended, Where She Went follows Adam’s descent into depression and drug-dependency, in parallel with the megasuccess of his band, Shooting Star and his relationship with one of Hollywood’s rising stars.
He’s never been unhappier.

Episode 57 - Where She Went by Gayle Forman

Bryan is back and so is Celaena Sardothien! The first in our four sequel episodes, check out Sarah J. Maas' second book in the Throne of Glass series. 
Celaena is now the King’s Champion ... or in other words: his top assassin. Having been pulled from the salt mines and pitted against all the others in a cruel contest, when Celaena won, she knew she’d be required to do the King’s bidding.
Which really means killing all his potential opponents.
While the work is distasteful, Celaena carries it out with cold precision, raising the eyebrows of her two previous suitors, Chaol, the Captain of the Royal Guard, and Dorian, the King’s son.
But unbeknown to anyone, Celaena is playing a deadly game. One that would be fatal for her if the King were to know.
And now the King has given her a killing spree task that will prove to be her undoing unless she can stay one step ahead of the intense political posturing and the hidden power the King seems to command.
